Plays
Farnham Maltings
The Spring Festival held at the Maltings.
The theme that year for Farnham Playwrights Collective was Lonely Spaces. We had a choice of odd spaces around the Maltings.
I chose The Dressing Room.
Full of posters of tribute bands, and artists that had performed in the past, I got a feeling of sadness from the room.

This year Farnham Playwrights Collective did Five Minute Plays. We used the South West Kiln, a square room approximately 17' x 17'. The configuration of the chairs was changed for each of the four plays.

Her step mother is not.
